It’s fun going through some of my wintry images, as I’m working towards a bit more coherence within the set of images to ultimately become the core of my portfolio. As I was looking through some of my Iceland images from earlier this year, I flipped through the folder that holds my Aurora Borealis images and noticed a particular image…
As my friend, George Fellner, and I were setting up, I took a quick test shot to get a sense of the exposure values that we would need, as well as some idea about how I wanted to frame the landscape for the sequence coming up.
That’s where this image came in, and even though it’s rather grainy at 6400 ISO there is a certain amount of interest in it; at least for me, as I don’t normally get to see this many stars in the sky. Settings for this shot were 25 second exposure at f/2.8.
If you’re curious about the actual series of images, please take a look (and listen) here: Aurora Borealis on YouTube .
